Helping your immediate evironment

Gardeners want to make sure that their garden grows perfectly. In order for a garden to grow the way gardeners want it to, they have to prepare their garden ahead of time. Prepare it by cleaning the garden out and putting down fresh soil or compost. Before you start planting, you can make your own compost by using leaves and grass, for instance. Compost has to sit for a couple of months before it will be ready to put down in the garden.

There are sites online that you can click on that will allow you to choose other sites on gardening. Look for tips on how to improve your garden, such as what date to prepare and seed your garden. Since it is March, this is the time to buy your seeds. Order potato seeds, if you plan on planting them. Place down manure or fertiliser to prepare the soil. Also, weed the garden frequently.

Once the vegetable seeds arrive, plant them in your garden. In spring, you may want to plant some of the seeds in cold frames. That way, if it freezes, they will be protected. In a greenhouse, you don't have to worry, since it is warm in there. Some gardeners even cover their garden up with a light cover when a hard freeze comes. Make sure your garden gets plenty of water and sunlight.
